Birthday Celebrations!!

We spent Sunday celebrating birthdays for our nephew, my father and my Aunt. We hadn't been back home since Christmas and it was nice to get together with everyone again.

Grandma and Emma


Carson, Josie and Liam


Carson turned the big 7 years old and celebrated with a demolition car birthday theme. My sister even found a way to make demolition bingo for the kids.

Grandma made him a demolition car cake. Isn't she clever?



Josie...the party animal!!


If any of you wonder where I get my crafty skills from, it's my mother. Thanks for always keeping art supplies available and encouraging us to be creative. Love you, Mom! Speaking of crafts, on Saturday Emma and I made the neatest red lanterns for Chinese New Year out of recycled glass jars and tissue paper. Instructions and pictures for these festive lanterns will be posted soon.

  3. What a great b'day party!! YES....Josie does look like a party animal in that picture. TOO FUNNY!!! I got your email this morning....We are in the same boat...and do realize that being the only sibling for so long does make it difficult when adding siblings. We pray for wisdom for all of us!! :)

    About the blogs....I wonder why you can't get to my blog? Hmmmm....I also have another friend that I cannot get to hers...it says it doesn't exist. Isn't that weird. Keep me posted on what mine says. I can access it...but not sure why you can't. Thanks for letting me know! Gotta run. Have a great week.
    Blessings,
